Almost 400 kg weighed replica of the original cartridge with the inscription „Jesus Meine Liebe ist GeCreutziget“ was in August 23, 2017, with the help of 3 restorers and a special lifting mechanism installed above the portal of the Upper Church. Preparations for the fixation lasted for several hours and lifting the cartridge up to a height of 6 meters was quite difficult. It is hard to imagine as at the time of the construction of the Calvary, when there were no machines, only human and horsepower, people managed such works. But we are happy that we did it and another important artistic element returned to the Upper Church.
Its completion is scheduled for autumn 2018, but to meet this goal, we still lack approximately 100,000. €. We will be happy if you support us by any amount.
